His Advice 10 The Knights.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct AT. V.
Powderly's paper, the The Journal
Of United Labor, in to-morrow's is
sue. speaking of the Government
and Sumptuary Law" will say:
Among the most common objec-
tions to legislative regulation of the
liqnor traffic is that of revival Of the
sumptuary laws. This means that the
Government has no right to say
what we shall eat or drink. What,
then, is TO be done with our laws reg
ulating poisonous articles? Men may
sell swill milk and infect your house
hold with typhoid fever. Butchers
may sell diseased meat and iuoculate
you with trichinosis. Butter dealers
may palm off upon you old tallow
manipulated with chemicals for gilt
edged butter at liity cents per pound.
There is right Of self protection left
with every State and community as
well as the individual, and how much
better that this right should be eyer
cised in the prevention of the evil
rather than its redress" "

Opening Saloons on Sunday.
The President of the Personal Lib

The President of the Personal Lib
erty League in this city, says the
Philadelphia Press, has got so far
along in his public speeches as to de-
mand that the saloons shall be open
ed on Sunday so that people can go
in the front door on that day to
quench their thirst. The opening of
the liquor saloons on Sunday is a
part OF the demand of the Personal
Liberty League, which also wants
the High License law repealed and
the submission of the prohibitory
constitutional am endment TO q vote
of the people prevented.
The Personal Liberty League is an
organization promoted by the brew
ers and liquor dealers, most Of whose
employees are members of it. 1t is
this organization, tog ether with the
brewers and liquor dealers, which is
working to elect the Democratic
candidate for sheriff in Philadel phia
and the Democratic ticket in the
State, as entering wedge to the re-
peal of the Sunday laws, 80 that peo-
Pile can go into the front doors of the
saloons on Sunday to quench their
thirst. Because Republican officials
have enforced the laws to prev ent
liquor selling on Sunday the Repub-
lican party is to be beaten, if possi-
BILE, by this Democratic aud liquors
dealers combination.
1t is for this purpose that the Dam
ocratic party is being run in the in
terest of the brewers, Personal Lib
city League and the liquor dealers,
and that these several organizations
are being run in the interest of the
Democratic party. 1t is from them
that the Democrats are accepting the
most generous pecuniary aid. Their
money has paid for tax receipts for
Democratic voters and the naturali,
zation of people to vote the Democra-
tic ticket in the interest of the liquor
people. Their money is also being
used to pay for documents to be cir
culated by the Democratic commit
tees, and the Democratic organization
has been placed practically at the Ser.
vice of the liquor dealers and those
who want the saloons open on Sun.
day.
Should this combination succeed
in electing the Dem ocratic candidate
for sheriff, or any other candidate on
the Democratic ticket, there would
be an immediate agitation for the re-
peal Of the Sunday liquor laws
They could not be repealed until the
next Legislature meets, but the COM
bination this year is expected to give
it such prestige and strength that it
will be able next year to elect Dem-
ocratic Legislature which at the die
tation of the Personal Liberty Lea
que could be depended upon to re-
peal the Sunday liquor laws, the
High License act and prevent the
submission of the Prohibition amend
ment.
1t is situation startling enough,
but is situation the people of Phil
adelphia and Pennsylvania are called
upon to deal with 1t cannot be ig.
nored without future danger. The
time to settle the question is now,
and there is only one way it can
be settled for good of society, the
city and the State

Address of the Republican
State Committee.

On the first page Of the CITIZEN
this week will be found an Address
by the Republican State Committee
to the citizens of this State. This
address should be read with care by
all, as it is not of an ordinary charac'
ter. If half of what is stated in it be
true it should alarm and arouse all
good citizens before they cast their
votes at the approaching election.
The liquor interests of the State have
combined and combined to punish, at
the coming election, the Republican
party for its advocacy of the submits
sion of the proposed prohibitory a.
mendment to the votes of the people.
T hese interests are said to be plan.
ming for repeal of the high license
law also. Thus is this new feature OF
this campaign brought face to face
with the voters at this election.
Can any good citizen, be he Demo
crat. Prohibitionist or Republican fail
to see bis duty at the present time
Another feature brought out in
this address is the threatened attack
on the Sabbath and the Sabbath laws
of the State. The Personal Liberty
Leagues it is announced have joined
hands with the brewers and distillers,
and all are to aid the Democratic
party in an endeavor to overthrow
the Republican party this year.
These Personal Liberty Leagues
mean hostility to Sunday and our
laws for it's present proper obser-
vance. Under such a combination
the people should arouse and show
their indignation by sustaining the
Republican party. Its defeat this
year will be triumph of all the bad
elements and principles that are seek
ing to overthrow good order and
good society.
WHATEVER our prohibition friends
may have thought heretofore, as to
their duty in casting their votes, we
have reason to believe that in this
county they will not hesitate to 30
cast them as to do the most good at
thee oming election.
The reforms aimed at by both Pro-
hibitionists and Republicans are now
threatened by secret combination of
other parties, and to prevent the sue
cess of this attack it is natural that
all good men of other parties SHOULD
combine. All interests in the liquor
traffic being now combined, all op'
posed to it should combine. In
other counties this is being done and
we believe it will be done in this
county on Nov. s The defeat Of these
forces this year in this way will es-
tablish more friendly relations among
the friends Of temperance reform and
make all to see their duty more clear
ly in the future.
